Saving files to SharePoint Online is HARD
It's been a while since I made this post and I'd only think it fair to follow up with it as Microsoft has delivered some real positive improvements in this space.
Files on Demand - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/onedrive/use-group-policy#FilesOnDemandEnabled
AutoMount Team Sites - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/onedrive/use-group-policy#AutoMountTeamSites
Save to SharePoint site - https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/blog/2015/11/09/attachments-in-outlook-2016-ready-for-collaboration/ and much easier when using the two features mentioned above.
Bonus points: Live document collaberation - https://support.office.com/en-us/article/document-collaboration-and-co-authoring-ee1509b4-1f6e-401e-b04a-782d26f564a4
Big thanks to ssquires , LincolnDeMaris , cfiessinger , and anybody else involved with these changes. They were a game changer when they launched and they've been much appreciated by consultants and end-users alike!!
This functionality has been improved greatly if you've been using Office 365 Groups in SharePoint Online. You can select the down arrow on the attachment and select "upload", you'll see all of your OneDrives, but you'll also see all of your Office 365 groups you are a part of. You can upload directly from there.

Are you referring to Outlook? Using version 16.23 on Mac, I am only able to select local files when adding an attachment, not OneDrive or Office 365 groups (aka. SharePoint Online sites). For the other Office apps (Word, Excel, PowerPoint), I am able to select SharePoint online sites when opening or saving, but only a subset of the sites I have access to.
